I didn’t encounter many ethical questions during this course or project, perhaps because I was focused so much more on investigating the ontology and teleology of digital culture. In fact, several times when the authors of Spreadable Media described topics as ethical dilemmas, I felt unmoved. For example, the alleged problem of corporations benefiting […]  I’m looking forward to catching up on the current season of “The Walking Dead” during the holiday break, but, like the characters on the show often do, I’m facing an ethical dilemma of my own. Since I refuse to pay for cable, and Netflix probably won’t have the current season up until God-knows-when, I’m forced […] Rather than return to a question like technical literacy that I’ve already articulated ad nauseam, I thought it might be more interesting to discuss some of the ethical considerations circling around Hakim Bey’s concept of Temporary Autonomous Zones, or T.A.Z.s for short. Described them as provisional enclaves against the powers that be that are “dissolved […] The topic of ethics is always a tricky one because there is always some kind of opposing forces that are exerting their will on what seems to be “right” There is of course the overall ethics of Journalism that we should in some way adhere to, but then there are also your personal ethics which […] Although it may not seem like it to some communicators, Ethics is a huge question when it comes to mass communication in our society. The biggest question I have had throughout the duration of our hybrid class, and many years before that, is the object-ability (or lack there of) of projects created to send a […] For the outreach part of our project (public education about the invasive rodent nutria), I think we were all concerned about raising unrealistic expectations with the outside parties that we will be engaging with as key participants in our outreach activities. We are primarily doing this as an academic exercise and none of us are […] (Comments have a length restriction, so I made this a post.) In anticipation of the Sam Ford discussion, I am referring to an article that appears this week in the New Yorker and deals with several of the issues you are raising, Melissa. If we are living in a world of an expanding blockbusters, how […] Color me a capitalist, but I struggle with the gift economy concept. I understand the idea of an artist giving back to his or her fans as a “thank you” for the sharing and remixing that fans engage in. I understand that such a model increases the spreadability of a particular work. What I struggle […] I think it’s interesting that Helen asked us to think about ethical questions this week since that was the subject of yesterday’s Foundations of Strat Comm class. We discussed the ethics of ghost blogging and learned that PR industry professionals and the general public have very different expectations when it comes to ghostwriting, especially when […] Ethically ambiguous videos and stories often generate important conversations around the ethics of participatory media. I have been thinking about the Spreadable media authors’ final plea to vet the information you want to share before spreading it all over the Internet. This seems quite challenging.
